Chourio’s late heroics lead Brewers over Cubs in Labor Day thriller
Jackson Chourio supplied the big hit, Luis Lara provided the defense as the Brewers took down the Cubs once again
The Milwaukee Brewers secured a thrilling 4-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Labor Day, thanks to a stellar performance by Jackson Chourio in the eighth inning. As the game appeared to favor the Cubs, with Pedro Ramirez hitting a home run in the fifth inning, the Brewers' bullpen had been vulnerable. However, Matthew Boyd's strong pitching through the early innings helped the Brewers stay competitive.
In the eighth inning, after Boyd allowed a walk and a double, the Brewers called upon Chourio, who immediately turned the tide with a single to right, bringing in Garrett Mitchell and Joey Ortiz to give the Brewers the lead. Christian Yelich added an insurance run in the inning, further solidifying the Brewers' advantage. Trevor Megill then closed out the game with a crucial save, locking down his 27th save of the season and contributing to the Brewers' 89th win of the year.
